GEORGE EMERY DUNLAP ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA On Fridays, George would surely be outside the Commandant's Office trying to get home a few hours earlier. George was an avid member of the Smoking Lounge which he frequented both during legal hours . . . and other times not so legal. Mondays brought to eager ears thrilling stories of weekend exploits of stock cars, racing, and hunting. These were his encompassing ac- tivities. George tried athletics, but his attempts were to have fun rather than to play competitively. Nonchalant about those around him and about the future, George was assuredly happy-go-lucky. HECTOR FERNANDO DOMINGUEZ HAVANA, CUBA When he thinks, he must speak. Once Hector transcended the language barrier, he proved that in any language he is a positive and outspoken person. Full of honest inquiry and de- sire to learn, he would always offer a candid and thoughtful opinion to those who asked. Living much of his life in a movie script, Hector was engrossed by the histrionics of Holly- wood. He made it his hobby to collect, study, and evaluate the scripts, criticisms, and accounts of the actor's life. In his search for enigmatic and dramatic sit- uations, he sought to solve the highlights and com- plications of life.

MICHAEL DARBY JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA More kind words were said about this boy than about anyone within our recent memory. He had a very disarming smile that was often in- gratiatingly used. His grades evinced every hour that he spent on his work. His propensity for the liberal arts courses showed an intellectual curiosity. Athletic prowess was evident in both swim- ming and basketball. As captain of the swimmers, he led the team to a very 'successful year. Mike swam the 200. He rose above personal misfortune in a man- ner to be admired and emulated, emerging from a difficult situation the same cheerful Mike. Mike disproved the common conception making red hair and violence synonymous. THOMAS PHILIP DEGNON DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA He was wise beyond his years, not only scho- lastically but in his knowledge of people and per- sonalities. Phil behaved as if he had been exposed to the subtleties of many minds, and in this light he has matured quickly and beyond a depth most of us shall ever go. He kept cynicism to a level so as not to become bitter, but he remained sar- castic enough to be acutely witty. When feeling chipper, his childlike antics were amusingly re- freshing. He had an overpowering personality, once unearthed. He was a liberal, a thinker. and a champion of the minority.

my 4 JOSE JESUS FERNANDEZ BARRANQUILLA, COLUMBIA Someone has said that lettuce is good for the nerves. Quick, Jose, eat up! Jose was never the calm, cool, and collected type. Lighting a necessary and frequent cigarette was as tedious and uncer- tain to him as the threading of a needle. This trait only served to amuse everyone, thoughg Jose's idiosyncracies were his assets. He had many of these eccentricities, especially after a sojourn in his own country, Columbia, where his English would grow more quaint with disuse. The most interesting facet of his personality was an unquenchable desire to relate to incredul- ous ears an absolutely fantastic experience which had just befallen him. EVERETT WILLIAM EDGERTON BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA He was even said to be too friendly. Can that be possible? He found it hard to be stern even on the drill field. But who could take issue with this delightful failure to exercise military severity? Working and living with Edgy was thereby a pleasure. In each phase of the curriculum, Edgy was outstanding as evidenced by his membership in both Alpha,' and B Clubs. Opemhearted and above board without any touch of cynicism, Edgy was the accomplished and rounded individual that is the goal of each generation.
